“There’s an old joke. Two elderly women are at a Catskill restaurant. One of them says, ‘Boy, the food at this place is just terrible.’ The other one says, ‘Yeah I know. And such small portions.’ Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of misery, loneliness and suffering and unhappiness – and it’s all over much too quickly.”
-Woody Allen, from Annie Hall
yup, life's too short, even for kvetching

ReplyDeletelife is short - live fast - love hard.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that today begins our fall break from school and I'm so anticipating it I can't stand it. (I know this has something to do with the quote above.)
